[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
With all due respect, here are my two cents...

First off, the NC is by far better than others e-readers in it's stock form. After rooting it, it becomes even better.

Software takes time to write, and with the economy the way it is... resources are typically short in all companies. So what if the company promises a software release and it is late? Things happen... especially things that may be out of their control.

Again, the NC is way better than Kindle, Sony e-reader, and all others. The fact that you are willing to write every single week means that you may possibly have a bit too much time on your hands. By pestering them, this will not get you a software release any sooner. This will only be a waste of your time.

If you really don't like it... sell the NC and move on...
[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
While this is a novel idea, the reality is that the Product Life Cycle for any electronics device nowadays is around 6-9 months. Meaning that after 9 months, there most likely will not be any further software development on the product... why????

This is because, in order for companies to stay competitive, they need to move onto the next cool toy, and not lock down their resources on improving products that are slowly dying and becoming less competitive in the market. Focus too much time on existing products, and you will be caught behind your competitors for the upcoming years...
[Nook Color General] A2Captivate:
Even worse ... a student. :)

B&N should and will disregard this letter because it is disingenuous. The OP is "VERY" angry about three things.

Poor UI

Unresponsiveness

Dislikes native B&N app

The software updates that B&N "promised" were never to address these particular issues. They said that they would eventually offer their own limited app market. They've never hinted at changing the UI or the stock B&N app. And they have outright denied that they would open up the device to the Android UI and market place.

The OP then offers up XDA as an example of what could and probably should be done with the device. Yet in the same paragraph says that they should keep it themed as a reader. Its this schizophrenia that will cause B&N to put this in the round file, and rightfully so.

That being said, I am personally hoping for a B&N developed Froyo release. The majority of people here and at other Nook modding sites feel that the rooted stock versions offer the most stability and best experience (myself included.) I'd love to have a rooted stock Froyo release. It will probably be better than anything that the hackers come up with. But I have no pretense of keeping mine an eReader.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Please just sell it. That way we don't have to hear you whine and moan about how a company made an awesome product for nothing in comparison to it's competition. It's people like you, that have pushed Sony to go as crazy as they have against the homebrew community.
[Nook Color General] jlmwrite:
What a load of driveling screed! The self-entitled OP doesn't represent anyone except himself. Glad he has so much free time at his employer's expense, and even happier that he doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if his little rant was written on company time...

I bought my NC because it's a great e-reader at a great price point. The fact that it's hackable is just extra icing. B&N delivered exactly what they promised; a solid e-reader. Their updates have been well-tested and do exactly what B&N sad they would do.

Please -- sell your NC and buy an iPad, Trey. Then you can go troll on the Apple fanboi pages and whine about how Apple locks everything down and doesn't deliver on their promises.
[Nook Color General] ahajr143:
While I don't necessarily agree with the tone of the letter I do think he has a good point. Barnes & Noble was giving info to magazines about an Android 2.2 software upgrade through the Christmas selling season and mentioned sometime in January 2011. That later became the first quarter of 2011 and then mid-April and the latest I have heard is sometime in June. I for one don't like to check the news stories weekly for hints when the software update is coming. I am running rooted stock but have avoided flashing to emmc until I see what the updated software will do for me.
[Nook Color General] Bradart:
All I can say is, thank god for the OP. There aren't enough white knights on the internet fighting for groups he doesn't belong to, doing it in an abrasive manner, demanding something that is unnecessary, and condescending to people who oppose his opinion.

That said, it's cool that you'd like to represent the people who AREN'T using it as a tablet or rooting but, really, don't you think those people might have mentioned at some point that they were unhappy if they were, you know, unhappy?

People who have never used a device with a touch screen in their life are raving about the Nook Color, as are we, the rooting, flashing, geek community. Your reason for complaint is that they said something and didn't do it immediately even though it isn't necessary.

How about this: You do what you want, I'll do what I want, and the people you're "representing" can do what they want. Let them write their own letters. They can email Barnes and Noble themselves. I don't care if you email them twice a day, but don't claim to be doing this for anyone but yourself.
[Nook Color General] Product F(RED):
Look, the moral of the story is you can't please everyone. The majority of users love it, and if you don't like it, that's fine. It's also fine that you want to voice your opinion, but don't reprimand them for not making it to your specifications. If you don't like it, return it. I don't own one, but I've used a rooted one and I can definitely say it's worth every penny. In fact, it's probably [one of] the cheapest, most functional Android tablets out there.

Can a mod just close this thread please?
[Nook Color General] lechiffre:
Good grief, overblown sense of entitlement much?

That's like buying a 360 and flaming MS for not releasing an update that will allow you to play ps3 games on it. Just ridiculous...
[HTC Inspire 4G] nephets0:
I was wondering how the gps worked on the inspire. I have a captivate and it sucks. Particularly interested in tracking (my tracks) and navigation. Any insights or my tracks would be appreciated
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdessert:
I switched from captivate and this phone is way better. GPS is spot on and locks in my house in about 5 seconds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I hear ya on the GPS. Was holding out for the stock 2.2 update to see if there was any marked improvement, and, though it might be a tad better, it's not where it should have been in the first place: still pretty much worthless as far as I'm concerned.

I've heard the inspire is like night and day better, as the comment above me confirms.

I'm getting ready to make the jump, personally.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thekurrgan:
Suffice it to say the inspire 4g does not have poorly implimented GPS hardware, and therefore does not need tons of software tweaks to get it to work, nor does it need 12 sats to get a 5 meter accuracy..

Galaxy S phones have dead GPS. Period.

If you have a Captivate get a rom based on either XXJPY or WJS3/5 -- Those have the best GPS i've found.

For stock experience, use Cog 4 with UCKB1 + adamholden85's GPS fix.

Even on a good day though, its not even close to the inspire..
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Much better than the captivate, even on one of its better days, but not as quick to lock as my incredible. Overall the gps does what I expect of a phone. Navigation works well, quick to locate in maps, update location for weather, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
I quote Ferris Bueller:

"If you have the means, I highly recommend it. It's so choice."

I was driving 45 mph, had passenger press the lock button on maps... had a 10m lock in about 10 seconds. :D Tracks perfectly around turns and everything. That and this phone is just awesome. HTC FTW.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kezell:
Mine is coming in tomorrow...I am coming from the captivate side as well.

GPS on the captivate was a hit or miss. Various roms would get it to work sometimes but its all in the hardware.

I am glad to hear that the inspire has a great GPS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cwluc:
I originally had a bad antenna which I swapped out at the store and honestly this phone is QUICK! It's funny how used to my old phone I became about certain functions like the GPS and tracking.. Loving my Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] farmercyst:
did you get a signal at all? how did you know it was bad? i think mine may be having problems aswell.
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
For all those GPS fans out there, it works great out of the box, but some have had problems once reflashing with even stock rom, so be careful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cwluc:
I was unreachable for calls and the GPS wouldn't pinpoint my location accurately. We did a number of tests in store and called TS. Also I was stock at the time no question it was the phone and not a hack or rooting issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Inspire's GPS is great. No worries. Not as phenomenal as the Atrix's GPS, but very good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
What's the best app out there for navigation? Google Nav isn't great. I got navigon and it's not too bad, on my iPhone it was the best out there, so I'm assuming it's the same with Android?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBruin66:
Has anyone used Rhapsody yet? Specifically downloading playlists for offline playback? Really hoping this works well on Honeycomb without needing an update. Rhapsody can be pretty finicky on some devices.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Rich W:
i have Rhapsody on my Droid X and it works fine. When I attempted to login on the Xoom it told me to go to Rhapsody .com and 'de-authorize" the droid first. I guess its one device at a time. I hope they resolve this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBruin66:
Yeah you have to have the $15 per month account for three devices. $10 is just for one.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBruin66:
Just an update, Rhapsody works great on here.

Obviously, the interface is for phones, but it scales well on the Xoom.

Offline files play fine too.

$10 a month for unlimited music sounds good!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooners82:
I have had Cyanogen 7 on my phone for about a week now, an recently i got problems with downloading most apps from the market. I have tried to clear cache and fix permission in ROM manager. And have allso innstalled GAPPS, but nothing seems to work. Has someone experienced simular problems, and maybe found a solution for it?

I really hope someone can help. I really like this ROM, so I want to try out everything before I switch to another.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lman00:
Try cyanogenmod forums. There are a few threads about this (for example cyanogenmod->desire-gsm->experimental mod) . Have you wiped everything before installing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumsdon:
I have CM7 installed on my Desire. I only have problems when trying to down Google Maps or Adobe Air. Apart from that I can download apps from the market. Try installing GAPPS from Recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooners82:
Thanks for the answers guys. Have allready innstalled Gapps from recovery, didnt seem to have any effect. Wiped everything before flashing to, but think im going to try to re-flash and see what happens. Read some place that you had to re-flash before innstalling GAPPS. Againg, thanks for the answers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumsdon:
No problem. Hope you get it fixed mate
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooners82:
I switched ROM to defrost, and it runs really smooth. So ill just keep that to cyanogen upgrades and fix their issues

Ok so I have the Full xoom dump. When I try to install any of the apk's in it i get "Their is a problem parsing the package". Is their any way I can get them to install? Would the system dump help port honeycomb to the Archos 101?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0rk burn:
I'm pretty sure the problem is you are coming from an entirely different android build. Sort of like trying to open a froyo app on android 1.6.

For half a second I had the same thought as you - "hey, we could have tablet optimized apps on the Archos by using the xoom apks!" but then I realized the problem. I couldn't even begin to know how to get them to work.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Yeah, there is no way to make those work. They have a minimum version of 3.0 in the bindary, so you would need the source code and some major programming to make it work under 2.2 as I am sure they utilize API's specific to Honeycomb.

Hi guys,

I'm using this bulid for a while now,

[25.FEB.11][CWM] RAFDROID HD 3.2|Fastest Full DesHD|DATA2EXT|[Rafpigna 1.7 OC]

,

and I'm sure most of y'all heard about it and maybe you are using it right now!

it is THE best DesireHD build out there,

...

well as it is clear from the title

my question is:

What would happen if I increased the data2ext3 partition to more than 1Gb?

because I love treating my HD2 like an iPhone and installing a lot of apps and I love games too

I have a 16gb class4 sandisk microsd card which turned out to be the most compatible sd with nandroid builds (bought based on your professional recommendations)

it has already a 1gb ext3 partion with 4b cluster size

can I make it more??

and whats the limit and why is there a limit?

THANKS

Can i do a nand flash backup then restore it when i go from kxhawkins ROM to the ROM from rederio2005 for 2.2? How does it work and what do u restore in the backup.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante04SRT:
I have finally found an ODIN process that works for my phone every time. I'm using ODIN3 (NOT 1-click) to flash my phone to stock - So far, it's worked perfectly every time.

Basically, after using ODIN3 to flash, I use ODIN-1-click to "Master Clear" the phone. The problem is that for some reason, after flashing to stock, neither ODIN version seems to see my phone on a COM port. The phone responds to ADB commands, I just can't seem to get the COM verification in either ODIN.

Any idea what the problem is? I'm currently having to flash on one PC and Master Clear on another.

IDEAS?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
master clear is not needed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
Indeed, master clear is not needed. However, your windows might be boarked. I had almost the same problem. Had to uninstall USB drivers, run a clean throughout the system and then reinstall everything. Even then, still wouldn't run properly. Had to reinstall win...

[G Tablet General] lbandrades:
I had the "magic value mismatch" problem after using an incorrect ClockworkMod version (with ROM Manager). So I used nvflash, as described in the thread "nvflash FULL restore, using bekit's original image".

After that, first boot was OK, back to original firmware. So I put ClockworkMod v08 (cwmod_internal.zip) into internal memory and shut the tablet down.

I could never power it up again after that.

I tried power button and volume +, power button and volume -. No signs of life.

I opened the case and hold the reset button on the back. Nothing. I even tried disconnecting the battery cable.

I can't find a way to power it back up.

Any ideas?

PS.: If I connect it to the charger, the LED turns red (as expected), but I got the same results.
[G Tablet General] ddarvish:
wait a few and see if the battery can drain then charge it back up... try nvflash mode again if possible. there were two images of nvflash. i had to first flash the non bekit one, THEN after flash ove the bekit one before it worked....

Tried converting a 1920x1080 video to 1280x720 for the webtop to Plasma conversion. Video plays fine, however, if I leave the height set to 720, both TVs get about an inch of picture cut off. I had to manually set the conversion resolution to 1280x700 for it to work.
